How To Make An Everest and Skye Paw Patrol Pinãta

Do your kids love piñatas? Mine sure do! I love watching the kids have fun with a piñata but don’t like spending a ton of money to buy something they will destroy in minutes. Piñatas aren’t cheap but I have found a way around the expensive store bought piñatas – I make my own! Keep reading to learn how to make an Everest and Skye Paw Patrol Pinata.

Materials Needed

Cardboard Box (pick the size that fits your needs)

Print out picture of Everest and Skye

Crepe paper

Hot Glue gun/glue sticks

Duct Tape

Scissors

Wire for fashioning a hanger

Rope

Instructions

Cut two small holes in the top of the box

Use a small strip of wood and drill two holes in to match the holes in the box (optional but helps reinforce the piñata so the top doesn’t rip out before the box opens)

Feed the rope through the wood and box (or just the box)

Attach a hanger (my husband used a piece of metal) but you could use just the rope

Fill the box with treats

Use Duct tape and seal the box

Plug in the hot glue gun

Attach the picute of Everest to the middle of one large side and attach the picture of Skye to the other large side

Start unrolling crepe paper

Use scissors and create notches on the bottom of the crepe paper roughly 1 inch apart across the entire length (this creates volume and makes the piñata look more like its store bought)

Start applying notched crepe paper – I worked from top to bottom (as my piñata was multi colored I did one large side and small side in each color)

Apply dabs of hot glue to the box – stick on crepe paper

As needed stop and notch more crepe paper

Cover the top and bottom of the box with crepe paper as well

Create a tail with a few strips of each color of crepe paper

Admire your completed piñata

Watch as children destroy your hard work gleefully wack the piñata!
